This invention describes a way to turn leftover grains from brewing or fermentation into natural gas. It works by first taking the spent grains and removing most of the solid bits, leaving behind a liquid with very few suspended particles, specifically less than 2,000 parts per million. This cleaner liquid is then fed into a special tank called an anaerobic digester, where microbes convert the organic material into biogas.
Why it matters: Since 2016, increasing global emphasis on waste valorization and renewable energy has made converting industrial waste streams like spent grains into biogas more economically attractive. Advancements in anaerobic digestion efficiency and process automation could also reduce operational costs for such systems.
